Problems solved by technology

A problem associated with the PTCA includes the formation of intimal flaps or torn arterial linings which can collapse and occlude the conduit after the balloon is deflated.
However, the use of drug eluting stents (DESs) has resulted in a new problem, late stent thrombosis, the forming of blood clots long after the stent is in place.
The commonly used therapeutic agents have limited or low solubility posing a serious obstacle for the drug's release kinetics from a stent.
The preceding problem has been at least partially ameliorated by the use of increasingly biocompatible materials and / or biocompatible coating.

example 1

[0109]A composition was prepared by adding poly(L-lactide-co-ε-caprolactone) (0.12 gm) in chloroform (4.6848 g) and trichloroethane (1.17 g) in a tightly closed glass bottle. The mixture was stirred at 250 rpm for 2 hours. Everolimus (0.0245 g) was added to the reaction mixture. The reaction mixture further stirred at 500 rpm for 2 minutes. The first composition is applied onto the stent and dried to form a drug-polymer layer.

[0110]The composition is applied onto the stent by any conventional method, for example, by spraying or dipping. A primer layer (e.g., the above formulation without the therapeutically active substance) can be optionally applied on the surface of the bare stent prior to the application of the drug-polymer layer. The drug to polymer wt / wt ratio is 1:5. The drug dose is from about 100 microgram / cm2. The drug reservoir layer coating thickness is 6 um.

[0113]A composition was prepared by adding poly(L-lactide-co-trimethylene carbonate) (0.06 gm) in trichloroethane (2.928 g) in a tightly closed glass bottle. The mixture was stirred at 250 rpm for 2 hours. Everolimus (0.01224 g) was added to the reaction mixture. The reaction mixture further stirred at 500 rpm for 2 minutes. The first composition is applied onto the stent and dried to form a drug-polymer layer.

[0114]The composition is applied onto the stent by any conventional method, for example, by spraying or dipping. A primer layer (e.g., the above formulation without the therapeutically active substance) can be optionally applied on the surface of the bare stent prior to the application of the drug-polymer layer.

Abstract

The present invention relates to implantable medical devices coated with polymer having tunable hydrophobicity and their use in the treatment of vascular diseases.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention relates to the fields of organic chemistry, polymer science, material science and medical devices. In particular, it relates to a medical device having a bioabsorbable coating with tunable hydrophobicity for treating vascular diseases.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) is a common procedure for treating heart disease. A problem associated with the PTCA includes the formation of intimal flaps or torn arterial linings which can collapse and occlude the conduit after the balloon is deflated. Moreover, thrombosis and restenosis of the artery may develop over several months after the procedure, which may require another angioplasty procedure or a surgical by-pass operation. To reduce the partial or total occlusion of the artery by the collapse of arterial lining, and to reduce the chance of the development of thrombosis and restenosis, a stent is implanted in the lumen to maintain the vascular ...
